I use my Raspberry as a pi-hole. It's not very demanding workload but I decided to buy some sort of case for it because it is sitting in the hallway beside the router. This aluminium armour is ideal because it's protecting and works as a heat sink as well. An when I touch it I can feel that it is warm. So its working as intended. One star down because there were only 2 thermal stickers and you need to connect 3 chips. Yes, the stickers were big enough to cut out for all 3, but cutting 2 rectangles and one square out of 2 squares was a bit complicated. One chip is only covered by 80% but I believe it will work ok.

Every time you are doing your next project this is a chance you can break unprotected PCB with just a sire contact if you unlucky. This case protects, cools and makes Pi looks fantastic at the same time.

I bought the heatsink case with my pi4 order and I'm glad I did. I use the pi to run pihole and the average recorded temp is ~48 degrees celsius, the heatsink case is always warm to the touch but I'd rather that than the cpu constantly running hot. Plus, it looks cool.

It's important to know that extension cables, incl. ones for breadboards might not fit into the gpio space. Other than that, the quality is good, it looks nice and you have to be sure that no cables are connected to the case.

Nice case with screws, good finish and fit. Seems to work for me. Pi4 running at 40C and case feels warm to touch. That's with motioneyeos and two basic cameras.

To avoid overheating you need something better than the standard case, a fan defeats the object of silent running this does a pretty good job, second purchase.

So far this has been an impressive heatsink passively cooling my 4B under load. One feature I would like is some 2/3mm threads on top so Hats can be attached

Very pleased with the case. A very robust and well engineered piece that keeps the Pi cool. Would buy again for the next Pi.
